Introduction

I want to thank you and congratulate you for downloading the book, JAVA Programming for Beginners.

Java is everywhere, and programmers who’ve used it are often split into to factions: ones who swear by it and ones who curse its existence. Java can seem clunky and inefficient for people who haven’t realized its full potential, since a lot of advanced Java books tend to get overly technical.

Programming isn’t just jamming a bunch of commands to a system hoping to get a valid response; it’s a systematic way of teaching the dumbest student in the world: the computer. What a lot of people get wrong in trying to learn Java is reading dry reference books and trying to memorize the commands.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing way to advance your career in Java, or simply want to use Java as a gateway to the world of programming, this book will teach you not only the syntax of Java, but also the best way to master Java even after you’ve finished this book.

The first few sections of this book shall be relatively simple, in order to acclimate you to programming and Java, but several sections down the road you’ll find yourself immersed with complex concepts. However, Java is a huge language with a lot of different commands, so expect that this book will leave out sections for you to learn by yourself. When you’re done with this book, you should be well acquainted with Java and equipped with the tools and mindset to develop Java applications.

Thanks again for downloading this book, I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1: Java Demystified

In this chapter, you will become acquainted with Java. Some common misconceptions about Java will also be addressed so that in succeeding chapters you will more or less have an idea about what Java can do, how to use it, when to use it and when not to use it.

By the end of this chapter, you should have a strong overview of object-oriented programming while getting a glimpse of the Java programming language. In short, this chapter will serve as your foundation in both programming and Java concepts. No programming exercises shall be done in this chapter, but you’re free to try some of the codes used in this chapter if your machine can already compile and run Java.

An Overview of Programming

Humans have finally found a way to create something that would obey their commands without as much as a whine or a whimper. The consequence, however, is a rather dumb machine that needs special instructions via a special language.

People new to the world of programming often ask, Can’t we make machines that can understand human language? The problem with human language is that it contains so many complexities such that even syntactically correct sentences could still be misunderstood. It also becomes exponentially harder to formulate sentences when you try to give complicated instructions. Lastly, many words present in the English language evolve with time, such that some words become unnecessary while some have their meanings changed because of the way people use them. So while current technology may allow the creation of a machine that can understand
